PORTSMOUTH — Seacoast Party 4 a Purpose will host its fifth annual spring benefit event for 200 young professionals under the mantra: "You like to party, we like to party, it’s about time we partied for a purpose" on Saturday, April 26 at the VFW Hall.

This year, the Kentucky Derby theme party — filled with big hats, seersucker, the random jockey outfit, and perhaps even a "horse race" of its own — will see all proceeds go to benefit Friends in Action, a Portsmouth-based nonprofit that creates social and recreational opportunities for teens and young adults with developmental disabilities on the Seacoast.

Seacoast Party 4 a Purpose’s past four spring events have raised more than $55,000 for New Heights and Richie McFarland Children’s Center. SP4P pledges to support a nonprofit for two consecutive years to help the nonprofit. This is the first year of support for Friends in Action.

The annual event has raised more money each year, which will continue this year thanks to sponsorship commitments led by Kennebunk Savings Bank and Piscataqua Bank & Trust. Other sponsors include National Engineering, New Hampshire Distributors, Redhook Brewery, Ocean Properties, Ltd., Vigilant Capital Management, Avery Insurance, IOS Business Centers, Vital Design, Hawthorn Creative, and Ian Frederick – MML Financial Services.
